Summary

Today you’ll learn about neighborhood 3D-printed by a robot, a 4,500 year-old secret chamber recently discovered in the Great Pyramid of Giza, and about research that shows a genetic link between blood sugar and migraines.

0:00.0	Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Discovery.
0:09.0	Time flies when you're learning super cool stuff.
0:11.0	I'm Nate.
0:12.0	And I'm Callie. If you're dropping in for the first time
0:14.1	welcome to curiosity where we aim to blow your mind by helping you to grow your mind.
0:17.9	If you're a loyal listener, welcome back. Today you'll learn about an entire
0:21.4	neighborhood 3D printed by a robot, a 4500 year old secret chamber
0:26.7	recently discovered in the Great Pyramid of Giza, and about research that shows a genetic link
0:32.0	between blood sugar and migraines.
0:34.6	Without further ado, let's satisfy some curiosity.
0:38.0	We've done a couple of stories before on the potential power of 3D printing,
0:42.1	but today I want to tell you about the technology
0:44.4	that could potentially be a massive breakthrough in home building.
0:48.1	Okay awesome I remember we did a story about the 3D printer rebuilding schools destroyed by war in Ukraine.
0:55.6	Yeah, exactly, a 3D printer rebuilding things.
0:58.8	Now 3D printers have been in the spotlight for years and while their use in construction is exciting
1:03.7	it has also been limited by the sheer force of scale. How do you build enough giant
1:09.3	robot printers to have an impact on the construction industry?
1:13.0	Ah, yes, the classic question, as old as time, how do you build a bunch of giant robot printers?
1:19.6	I think there was a Greek tragedy about that.
1:22.2	I'm guessing you have an answer.
1:24.3	Okay, yeah, smart, like.
